Background This group of microbes constitute the most abundant members of the intestinal microflora of mammals. Typically they are symbionts, but they can become opportunistic pathogens in the peritoneal (intra-abdominal) cavity. This organism produces many extracellular enzymes which assist in the breakdown of complex plant polysaccharides such as cellulose and hemicellulose and host-derived polysaccharides such as mucopolysaccharides. Bacteroides helcogenes (strain ATCC 35417 / DSM 20613 / JCM 6297 / P 36-108) is an anaerobic Gram-negative bacterium isolated from abscesses in pigs.
